Need recommendation for amplified FM antenna

    Truck is a 2019 TRD Offroad DCLB. I put a Superpacific X1 camper on it earlier this year, and later installed a Renogy solar/battery setup. XM Satellite/FM radio reception was impacted a little by the camper and a lot after installing solar.

    I installed an external XM receiver mounted to the top of the camper, and XM radio reception is now flawless.

    I'd like to see if installing an external amplified FM antenna will similarly fix FM radio reception. Don't care about AM radio. I still get ok reception in the city but it fades out quickly, and I can no longer get more distant stations that used to come in clear. So mainly want something with good power to pick up stations in more remote areas.

    I'd likely install it on a ditch light mount by the hood, or possibly on a mount off the tailgate area. The camper barely clears the garage door, so an antenna can't extend higher than that.

    Any recommendations for an antenna you've installed that has worked well? Thanks!
